How do you go from being an FBI agent to becoming a core member of an international criminal organization?
Four years later, Shuichi Akai was facing this dilemma once again.
When a beautiful, pure-hearted woman among his target's peripheral members showed interest in him, the usually capable Agent Akai felt a rare flicker of awkwardness.
Because if he had never met the person who had left countless creases in his heart, he would have agreed without hesitation, perhaps even encouraged her feelings, using her warmth and affection to achieve his cold-blooded ends.
But that person had succeeded. Even thousands of miles away, Shuichi Akai still felt trapped in a prison of gloom cast by his shadow, unable to take a single step.
"My dear Brolyatille, you are branded on my heart."
It feels the pain, Brolyatille. It remembers every look, every gesture, even every reaction of yours. You have become my painkiller.
[Important] Reader's guide:
1. The story begins shortly after Shuichi Akai has become an FBI agent. At this point, the future ace of the FBI is still somewhat green.
2. Original male lead x Shuichi Akai [tentative]
3. There are sweet moments and angst, but I like the angst more. [A loving author's confession]
4. Happy ending. The protagonist eventually leaves the organization he belongs to.
5. All place and country names mentioned in the story are fictional.
6. More to come if I think of anything.
